We've posted an analysis (or two) of debate-related Twitter traffic following each 2020 presidential election debate. We'll be adding them to this thread as we go. Some are more interesting than others.
First up, general analysis of the first #DemDebate.

@ZellaQuixote Next up, analysis of who killed it in the first #DemDebate based on tweets containing "is killing it" or "killed it" preceded by a candidate's name.
@ZellaQuixote General #DemDebate3 thread - most interesting thing here was that Yang was the most frequently mentioned candidate.
@ZellaQuixote The third #DemDebate also gave rise to this analysis of the (subsequently banned) Power10 #MAGA automation tool.
@ZellaQuixote #DemDebate4 analysis. A weird Fiverr botnet shows up, and we experimented with tracking trends during the debate.
@ZellaQuixote #DemDebate5 thread, featuring the resurrection of a botnet composed of accounts supposedly associated with taxi companies and realtors that actually spend the lion's share of their time retweeting political tweets.
@ZellaQuixote #DemDebate7 analysis, with bonus botnet that theoretically offer free followers and likes but actually takes over your account and spams automated tweets offering free followers and likes.
